In the final seconds of the third period, Czechia scored the game-winning goal, sending Canadian players home.
Following the game, Gord Miller, from TSN, shared a shocking development.
Team Canada Players Face Hate Messages and Threats on Social Media After WJC Elimination
Miller reported that numerous fans sent hateful messages and threats to the players after Canada's defeat:
Athletes, who are often extremely competitive, already hate losing. Sending negative messages is only making things worse.
Canadian defenseman Oliver Bonk even found it necessary to make his Instagram account private.
Bonk's shown how open he is about his mental health and for grown adults to attack a kid playing in a hockey tournament for teenagers is sick and disturbing."
These young men don't deserve to be hated.
